I have an idea for the MLNO Pokemon Battling Contest.
Instead of using Wi-Fi, which is a problem for some members, how about we base it on forum posts, like MLN Nex Gen. Problem is, it will take extremely long, and it hampers prediction. This can be solved if there is a judge where the players PM the moves to the judge, and we have damage calculators at our disposal. All the Pokemon that are entering have 31 IVs in all their stats, and the players can put EVs on whatever stat. They can also do the Natures, Abilities, and items and stuff.
Damage Calculator:
http://www.metalkid.info/pokemon/OnlineProgram/Calculators/DamageDP.aspxFor critical hits: Someone puts #s 1 through 16 in a bag. Shuffle. If the #16 is chosen, then it is a critical hit.
Pokemon with Super Luck, or using a High-Critical Hit move, or used Focus Energy, or holding Razor Claw/Scope Lens, or has Lansat Berry used up: #8 and #16 are CH.
Combination of two CH Boosters: 4, 8, 12, 16
Combination of three CH Boosters: 1,4,8,12,16
Combination of four CH Boosters: 1,2,4,6,8,12,14,16
Flinch: Depending on move, randomly pick #1, 2, 3 or #1, 2. Kings Rock = #1
Do the same for the effects of moves (Water Pulse Confusion, Outrage Confusion, etc.)
The judges role is to determine which Pokemon goes first, determine the damage output, and post it in the battle topic.
Its complicated, but it will work.
